Congratulations to Strider Knives
For those that didn't know.... Strider Knives, along with Ken Onion and Kershaw, won two awards for the Zero Tolerance at the Blade 2006 Awards Ceremony.
Way to go guys, and what an awesome cause for the money to go to. I was proud as could be to see the three reps from the PVA up on that stage BEAMING, when the announcement came that the guys won not once, but TWICE for the ZT.
Congrats.

These awards are the "academy awards" of the knife world.
Good job.
Mick, this is what we expect of you around here.

I'm sure that they carry a little more significance than that. After all aren't the academy awards made by folks for themselves from within an industry whose membership is self-indulgent, morally corrupt, ethically bankrupt, that live their lives vicariously through the fables that they create in a world where only they count? I wouldn't trust any of them with a knife

For those that aren't familiar, the PVA is the Paralyzed Veterans of America. They're a service organization that works with disabled vets (especially in dealing with the VA bureaucracy) with some form of paralysis (SCI, TBI, stroke, MS, etc). A portion of each ZT knife sold goes to the PVA to help fund outdoor recreation activities (skiing, shooting sports, boating, hand cycling, the list goes on and on) to show vets that they can still enjoy the outdoors despite some pretty serious, life-long injuries. Strider knives has quietly contributed and/or sponsored PVA events for many years, and it seems they've once again gone even further in their generosity with the ZT concept.
Mick and Duane, you're damn good people.

Well done Kitty Kitty.
BTW, I saw those two V42s on TAD. Beautiful.

Congratulations Mick.
I'm not sure what Zero Tolerence is when it comes to knives. However, What you, Ken and Orion are doing for the PVA is tremendous.

Zero Tolerance is the name for a line of knives designed by Ken Onion and the Strider guys, then built by Kershaw. PVA has been invluded in this venture since the inception.

Here you go Sir. Attached is the 0200 model. The 0301 models are on pre-order right now (not quite available to the public yet).

Thanks Michelle and Ryan. I had some sort of manufacturing thing in my mind, considering zero tolerence. Trying to catch up with all the new knives, equiptment and lingo. Fantastic looking folder.
